Chapter 72 - Mystical Guardian Beast
“Junior Brother Su, I’m Xue Yi. Are you around?”
Suddenly, a voice rang out from outside the cave abode. It was Senior Brother Xue Yi – the person who had brought Su Zimo around initially.
Su Zimo opened the door hurriedly.
Now that they were meeting again, Su Zimo subconsciously activated his Spirit Peering Art and discovered that Xue Yi was a Qi Refinement Warrior with Level 9 Qi Condensation.
“Eh?”
Xue Yi looked at Su Zimo with shock and incredulity, asking, “Junior Brother Su, you’re already at Level 1 Qi Condensation?”
Su Zimo could not figure out what Xue Yi meant by that and merely nodded his head, afraid that he might make a mistake by speaking.
Compared to the gigantic statue, Su Zimo and Xue Yi were like tiny ants.
Even though Su Zimo felt that the statue looked familiar, he did not think too much about it and merely commented in praise, “I wonder who created this statue. It’s so life-like that it’s almost like a real crane!”
“Shh!”
Suddenly, Xue Yi’s expression changed as he shushed at Su Zimo right away.
“What’s wrong?” Su Zimo whispered uneasily.
Wiping away his sweat, Xue Yi replied, “That’s not a statue. That’s Ethereal Sect’s Mystical Guardian Beast! It’s alive!”
“Alive?”
Su Zimo coughed gently and raised his head to look at it again awkwardly.
Because the crane stood there motionlessly, Su Zimo’s first thought was that it was a statue.
“What’s it perched here for then?” Su Zimo asked again.
Shaking his head, Xue Yi replied, “I’ve got no idea either. Senior crane usually stays within the Ethereal Palace and it’s rare for normal disciples to catch a glimpse of it. I guess we’re really lucky today.”
Pausing for a moment, Xue Yi looked around with a mysterious expression, whispered gently, “Though, I heard that senior crane’s child was bullied to tears by a new disciple recently. Perhaps it’s here to settle things with that disciple! I wonder who’s the unlucky one, hehe!”
Su Zimo suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned around. Blinking his eyes slowly, he asked, “Say, is the child of this senior crane a crane too?”
“Isn’t that just nonsense? Obviously it is!” Xue Yi laughed.
“…” Su Zimo did not find it funny in the slightest bit.
